Thirty years ago my first custom-built aircraft was a Fisher Super Koala which is sorta like a 4/5 scale Taylorcraft. I bought the kit and it was nicely manufactured with good full-size drawings. The geodetic design is clever, easy to build and results in an amazingly rigid and lightweight structure. I finished the Koala a year after opening the crate and flew it for 160 hours. It was a docile airplane with the Rotax 582, basically a large two-place ultralight.
The designs have changed hands a few times over the years so I don't have any experience with the present company. But the designs are good if you enjoy working with wood and don't require any specialized skills.
